​Creating Your Virtual Lightning Talk

Overview

Virtual Lightning Talks are 5-minute video presentations designed for presenters who are not able to be present in-person at the conference, enabling participants to present and engage with colleagues from afar.

Features of Lightning Talk

Your Lightning Talk should be a 5-minute video presentation. All Lightning talks are presented on our community YouTube channel.

Your talk can be a Lecture or PowerPoint video:

Lecture style is a more traditional format, with the video featuring the speaker on screen during the talk, rather than audio playing over a power point or visual aid.

PowerPoint style uses images or another presentation format as the feature of the video, with voice recorded over the presentation/images.

Your video should be recorded with a minimum resolution of at least 720p (HD).

Your final presentation should be uploaded no later than one month prior to the start date of the conference. For example, if the conference dates are 1-3 June, your final presentation must be uploaded 1 May. Any Virtual Lighting Talks received after this date will not be featured at the conference.
